In response to the announcement, Larsen said:

"Racing for Ferrari in F1 ACADEMY is a dream come true. They’ve been my favourite team since I was a child and getting to wear red feels surreal and is an incredible honour. I’ve felt their support since FIA Girls on Track and now being part of the most iconic team in motorsport is a true honour. I’m ready to give everything I have for the Scuderia. Bet on red!"
